- All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface XMLEntityResolver
This interface is used to resolve external parsed entities. The
application can register an object that implements this interface
with the parser configuration in order to intercept entities and
resolve them explicitly. If the registered entity resolver cannot
resolve the entity, it should return null
so that the
parser will try to resolve the entity using a default mechanism.
